He presses her gently into huge arm

her. as she realizes that here, perhaps,
Grant will not seek her, as she sees the
beloved face of Duran leaning over her,
she lets sense of joy and comfort steal
through her being, and as a child, tired
and weary, who sees its mother, might
do, she stretches out her arms to Duran.
In moment she is lying on his breast.

not afford to live at home, so got a years
leave of absence, and made up my mind to

told me of your uncle, and said that he
wanted to dispose of a third interest in his

CHANGED MEANINGs.-Many OF
the most familiar words and customs
of civilized life have lost through
daily use during centuries all trace OF
their original meaning.
The ordinary panel of a door is
made in the shape of a cross, which
was intended to keep out. witches
and evil spirits. Bells when first
used on churches were blessed, and
they were rung in order to drive back
all demons in hearing. The caves OF
dwelling in the same age were
to project, that they might shelter
settees, on which the beggar or way
farer could rest.
Horseshoes became sign of good
luck because witches in the dark
ages were put to the test by grasping
hot iron, a horse shoe being the iron
most frequently employed. AS the
witches naturally would avoid horse
shoes, they were nailed on the doors
to keep them out.

Mr.. is a contraction of Master and
Mrs. of Mistress, both used by in
feriors. The touching of hat as a
form of greeting is relic of the Gus
tom which made it obligatory on
subjects or retainers to stand uncov-
cred in the presence of their king or
feudal lord.

fact, tacitly imply that the person
using them places himself in SUBJ

ing 70 the dead bird, II don't think that l

She laughed, showing a charming line Of
teeth. "Oh, no." she said, "he was the only
bad one-but, Capt. Mel, think you will
find it fearfully dull. There ere nothing but
Beers here, you know. There are no English
people nearer than WakkelStroom."
"You overlook yourself" he said, politely;
for really this daughter Of the wilderness had
a very charming air about her.

vas so stiff and bruised that he could hardly

sOnly about mile-just there; we shall
see it from the crest Of the rise. Look, I'm

danced little on the grass to show him. "My

green houses -hung their long, trumpet shaped
flowers and looked oppressed and miserable
beneath the burning breath Of the hot wind
which had been blowing FOR hours like the
draught of volcano. The grass, too, near
the wide roadway, that stretched in feeble

veins on lady's arm: was completely
